the lucky one

Saturday morning I woke up to lots of puppy kisses and husband cuddles.

Happy birthday to me!

As I got out of bed, I saw a red rose sitting on my nightstand with a little note.

From on my toothpaste to in my bowl of blueberries, I found handwritten notes from Bryan everywhere.

The note that surprised me the most was the one that was on the ottoman at the foot of our bed. You see, Bryan and I do not give each other birthday gifts. But this note implied there was a gift inside, and I was puzzled.

I opened the ottoman to find a card and the most perfectly wrapped box.

Next thing you know I'm crying happy tears, but at the same time saying "this is too much... too much." Bryan explained to me all of the reasons why I deserve this amazing present - one that I will be rocking when I'm 80, God willing!

Oh look, it came with a puppy!

While pipe dreaming, I always said that I wanted a Speedy 35, but after seriously thinking about it, that size is entirely impractical and too gaudy for my taste. But the Speedy 30? Pure perfection!

Knowing the reasons why Bryan gifted it to me, along with the touching words he wrote in my card and the little notes he left everywhere, makes me fall in love with him all over again... He is such a sentimental, thoughtful and appreciative man.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! What a wonderful surprise and gift! I have been going back and forth on what size Speedy I want to - 30 or 35??? I see Jessica Simpson with her 35 and it just seems so big!?! Have a FABULOUS day, wk, and yr! :)

Aw you are so darn cute... Alix of Traffic Jelly and I were talking on the phone the other date and brought up how we love reading your blog...and then how freaking cute and in love you and Bryan are. Please keep sharing it with us single gals...gives us hope that there are a few good gents out there. :) xoxo and HAPPY BIRTHDAY again to you, my dear.
